This forum post got me seriously considering the merits of systemd:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149530#p1149530
Though I am generally on the fence with regards to systemd, I think
there is a lot of value in increasing the consistency across Linux
distributions. If I'm going to have to deal with systemd either way, I
hope it serves that purpose so that our effective user base is greater
and it is easier for 3rd party software to support my platform of choice.

Thought some of you might be interested in this interview with Lennart
Poettering concerning systemd:

Also there was a good interview with him on the Linux Action Show
podcast recently if you're into podcasts. LAS is a bit (a lot) over the
top but occasionally informative:

or
http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/73122/lennarts-linux-revolution-las-342/
What I found especially interesting about the LAS podcast was when
Lennart touched on some of the main problems with how Linux
distributions are currently put together, the limitations of package
managers, and how we can maybe expand on and overcome these challenges.
Worth a listen if you're inclined to podcasts.
If anything the article with Poettering is good because 90% of what you
read about systemd on the interwebs is complete and utter BS that gets
spouted over and over again. It's quite astounding. And I publicly
thank Stuart for calling me to task a couple of years ago when I showed
my ignorance in regards to systemd. Every time I read another round of
BS systemd FUD, I'm grateful Stuart kept me from being one of these idiots.
